[00:47:36] S0: -: I think that maybe what's surprising is that sometimes you have to make noneconomic decisions first order in order to preserve optionality and to preserve your ability to access the really big opportunities. So I think that particularly if there's aspiring entrepreneurs who are watching, what I have found, my internal monologue reminds me that you don't have to tell the investors what you think they wanna hear, right? It's okay. You can tell them that the right way to build this business is to build a four wall, build a shop on Park Avenue. Of course, part of you knows that the investors would be much happier if you just told them it's going to be $4.99 and it's going to be available on the internet, and we're going to sell a billion of them. Your inner monologue needs to pull you back to the integrity of what you believe is the right thing for the customer and for the business. And It's a little scary, but at least in our case, the lesson has been that's okay. The investors trust the honesty and the integrity as long as your team is sufficiently credible to pull it off. I'd say the other thing that you might hear in my inner monologue is that a huge amount of my time is spent thinking about how do I make sure that this continues to be the best career opportunity for the smartest people I know? Like getting... Particularly when you're doing hard tech, right, when you're trying to advance the state of the art in a field that's crowded, it only works when the most brilliant people you've ever met want to work on this. And so a huge amount of the hours and time and perseveration that happens in my mind, it's not just about hearing aid features or next generation products or the furniture in this room. It's a lot to do with how do we make sure that this is a utopia for the most ambitious, brilliant engineers that we've ever met so that they work here instead of the metaverse.

[00:50:14] S2: That's a good way to put it. And I think we can make that a wrap as well. Thank you so much for the interview and for also taking us, I guess, into your world and being able to see this. It's a beautiful place and it's having a lot of impact on people. [00:50:29] S0: It's such a pleasure to have you. Thank you Thank so you. [00:50:32] S1: Appreciate it.
